are you a piano player? If you are, you probably want a full size 88 key keyboard with piano-style action.. Studiologic makes good ones..

if your just a starting producer.. the m-audio evolution series of controllers is really good.. But dont get anything less than 49 keys.. 25 completly sucks..

at least it does for trance
for techno or bass synths it's okay I guess
me having played piano, I wouldn't want anything lesser than 61 keys

this is the best keyboard for beginners:

Edirol PCR 50

reasons:

1. It looks damn nice!

2. I use it

3. U can find it in 61 and 32 keys as well

i have a m-audio radium49 usb - but i would really prefer evolution. this one might have better pots, but i miss some of the functions from the evolution (patch changing with +/- buttons, and one other i cannot remember ). but for start it should be adequate.
